Located in Washington Heights right off the 1 train on 153rd st., Trinity Church Cemetery and Mausoleum is worth the trip.

Makana Hawaiian & Japanese BBQ features a melting pot of popular dishes not usually found outside of Hawaii, and certainly rarely east of Los Angeles. To see that Makana is successful enough to open a second branch in NYC is a real treat.
By Louise Simon. You can follow more of her work at Appearance for Less. After a year of walking past Crave Fishbar and repeatedly saying, “we should try this place”, last Saturday, we finally tried it. Being from Sydney, we are always looking for a good seafood fix […]
